Yes hot air = slow car. Look up CO2 or NO2 intercooler sprayers.

The engine bay of a z32 TT is.... very efficiently packaged In fact, some people were quoted about 10 hours labor time just to change the clutch on them; that's how hard it is to work on the car.

But yeah, underhood temp on those cars are high and I believe it is one of the limiting factor on how high their horsepower can go, compared to say a supra.

I was going to suggest the same thing. Tricked out, which I don't normally watch(roommate has DVR though, I love that sh|t!!!) because they do some very simple modifications that any idiot can do and they call them "intermediate", just did an install of a CO2 sprayer. Hell, they callled this install one step above intermediate and all you have to do is a little wiring and run the feeder line

Anyway, the company rep claimed a 10 to 15% increase in hp with the whole kit(sprayer and intake bulb). Obviously this would not be the case when it's cold out, but if it's 100 degrees you are going to go way faster than your buddies evo without one
